MM#009 Default Target

[Max Millennium Chief Observer]

Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has reached moderate levels due to 2 M1 flares
(an M1.4 at 11:37 UT and an M1.2 at 06:07 UT today) from
NOAA 13477. This newly numbered region was very active
and also produced 7 C-class flares. It was classified as an
alpha/H-type sunspot group. Today the target shall switch to
NOAA 13477 because of its high flaring productivity. Yesterday’s
target NOAA 13474 (S18W22, beta-gamma/D-type) only
produced a C5.0 and a C3.7 flare. Further C-class flares are
expected with a good chance of another low-M flare in the
next 24 hours.


The position of NOAA 13477 on 1-Nov-2023 at 12:30 UT is:

S12E73 (-904", -221")
